Hannah & Kelvin’s Wedding, Abercorn Parish Church, followed by Hopetoun House, South Queensferry
Hannah and Kelvin’s special day was truly fab, not only because they said ‘I do’ to each other, but also because they brought their gorgeous little daughter Matilda to be christened in the same service. How wonderful is that?
All that is amazing about winter weddings – candles, sparkles and roaring fires – was here in abundance and the atmosphere was cosy and relaxed, like a great big family party. Hopetoun House stood majestic in the winter sun while inside the ballroom, styled by Planet Flowers, looked like a perfect silvery Narnia.
As everyone settled down for the wedding breakfast, the minister Alex took to the floor as MC and set the tone for some very funny and genuine speeches. Alex – has anyone ever told you you’d be great on stage?!
The celebrations were topped off with an incredible firework display designed by the fab chaps at 21CC Fireworks…
Hannah, Kelvin and Matilda – thank you for inviting us to be with you – we loved every single minute.
Can’t wait to catch up with three you very soon! Hugs,
A&N x

Real Life Wedding: Melville Castle
Melville Castle has always had a special place in our hearts as it’s one of the first castles we ever photographed a wedding at. Combine that with one of the most incredible couples and you have the stuff of unstoppable wedding magic. Megan and Jonathan’s story is one of long-lasting friendship followed by falling in love. As they’ve grown up together they are a pair steeped in love and support for each other and that is so evident to anyone who knows them.
Real Life Wedding: Drumtochty Castle
Drumtochty Castle weddings in autumn are simply magical. Andrea and Mike planned theirs to perfection – with the sage greens and golds and oranges of the flowers creating a warmth within the castle as well as outwith.
Getting to know these two as been a lot of fun. They make a top team and have a similar wonderful sense of humour. Highlights from their day include Andrea’s walk down the aisle, the emotional readings, the quaich ceremony (led by Uncle John), the speeches (Andrea’s killer line announcing “Mike I have made you a better person” had the room in stitches). And of course the most brilliant first dance.
Real Life Wedding: Mansfield Traquair
Laura and Calum’s wedding was always going to be a day filled with smiles a-plenty and the kind of party atmosphere that fills Mansfield to its rooftops. It was such a privilege to photograph this wedding as it feels like we’ve known Laura forever and meeting Calum and little Rae has been a delight.
Words these two would use to sum up their wedding are sentimental, sincere and silly… it was a day jam-packed with friends, family, fun and a wee dram or two of Fluffylump.
